The Los Angeles Rams signed running back Royce Freeman on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the surprise retirement of Sony Michel. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Saturday that Michel informed the team that he was retiring and that the Rams would add to the running back depth shortly thereafter. He wasn’t kidding, that was fast.
Freeman now joins a room headlined by Cam Akers, Kyren Williams, and rookie Zach Evans and will compete to make the final 53-man roster, if not the practice squad.
Welcome to LA, @rolls_royce28!
